Police are looking for a man who robbed a couple he had befriended at the Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant on Gratiot Avenue at 23 Mile Road in Chesterfield Township early Tuesday, according to police reports.

The couple — a 22-year-old man from Hamtramck and a 20-year-old New Haven woman — was leaving the restaurant about 1 a.m. when they were approached by a man who asked them for a ride to the nearby Meijer store where his friends were going to pick him up.

“The woman said they were apprehensive about giving him a ride by he didn’t seem threatening at the time,” Detective Sgt. Deron Myers said.

Myers said the couple drove the man to the Meijer and parked. That’s when the stranger, who was seated in the back seat, took out a black handgun, pointed it at the two people in the front seat and demanded their belongings. They handed over their cell phones and cash before the robber got out and fled on foot towards Gratiot.

The robber was described as a 5-foot-9 black male in his early 20s,with a slim build, beard and mustache. He was wearing a knit skull cap, dark clothing, and tan work boots.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Chesterfield Township police at 586-949-2322 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.
